Fall Craft #4: Does Your MUMMY Know It's Halloween??

Bottle Mummy

Materials:

• Dish soap bottle
• Toilet paper
• Glue
• 2 wiggly eyes (we chose two different ones)
• Paint brush

Directions:

Mix glue with a bit of water to thin it out. "Paint" the glue all over the bottle.

Wrap the toilet paper around the bottle. This will require adult assistance.

Glue two eyes on to the mummy. We did one big orange eye and one smaller purple eye to make it fun.

And here's our completed mummy!

Here's a picture of a mummy in one of our Halloween books, to use as inspiration. My daughter didn't understand at first that we were making a "mummy" and not a "mommy."

Fun at the Pumpkin Patch

Last October, Lydia was just a month old. I was so excited to take her to different Halloween events, but but obviously it was a lot more for me than for her. This year, however, she loved visiting the pumpkin patch at Bedner's Farm Fresh Market. Check out two of our cutest pictures. Did I mention that I recently purchased Photoshop?? :-)

Next weekend, we are going to a fall festival and maybe the Flamingo Road Nursery. Lots of fun fall/Halloween activities to come!
